A massive fire erupted in four shops on Tuesday in Vaibhav Khand, Indirapuram, located in Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad district. Firefighters promptly arrived to extinguish the blaze.

On Monday, a significant fire engulfed an oil and chemical factory near the Muradnagar Canal bridge on Delhi-Meerut Road. Twelve fire tenders were dispatched after a midnight alert from the Modinagar Fire Station Control Room. The blaze originated in an industrial unit on a 2000 square meter ground floor in plot number 87-A of Pawanpuri Industrial Area, near Yusufpur-Manota village.

Subsequently, drums of edible oil and other chemicals stored in large quantities began to explode, causing the tin shed roofs and boundary walls to collapse. The flames spread to an adjacent cardboard factory on plot 87-B. Fire service units quickly laid hose pipes from the main gate to contain the fire throughout the factory. (ANI)
